[xubuntu] initramfs - the root filesystem on /dev/sda1 requires manual fsck (ATA bus error)

Hello, this is my first time using linux and I am running a xubunto. I read how to do things and got xubunto running good yesterday.
Today I noticed all icons on desktop had a lock symbol and searched on web figuring out it would have something to do with permissions.

I followed some posts saying I should use

Code:

sudo chown -R $USER: $HOME" and "sudo chmod 777 -R /path to folder

but I didnt notice any change so I restarted the pc.
Since then I cant get past what seems to be initramfs saying that "the root filesystem on /dev/sda1 requires manual fsck".

Again I searched on web how to fix it and ended up using commands like "sudo fsck /dev/sd1" etc. but in all my attempts to fix it in the end I get a message saying:

Code:

/dev/sda1: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/dev/sda1: 171285/15007744 files (0.1% non-contiguous), 1910197/60001024 blocks

..."failed command:WRITE DMA" ... "Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error)"

As you can guess I don't understand half what is happening and can't figure it out alone.
Can someone please help me understanding and fixing whats happening?

Thank you for your time and help on the issue.
